Dang, that was just a really good goal by Tarasenko. Mostly cross body, and caught the very corner of the goal.

Blues not going away quietly...

Felt that one coming.

Tie game

Ummm... guys..........

OMG what a goal!!

Wow. What a goal...

MacKinnon.... JFC dude. That. Was. CRAZY!

Nice hat.

FTR, Colorado has the ugliest color scheme on their uniforms in the history of all sports.

Thomas and Tarasenko chipping in garbage time goals.

**** 'em. Trade the former and let the latter steal money from another franchise.


Also how fitting a worthless trade acquisition gets chumped in a breakaway.

The white one or the old home jersey looked good, the dark one has always looked like ass.

Yes

Good call :LOL:

Said what I said. Tarasenko is dead weight and the last time Thomas wasn't seen on a milk carton was in the series vs Minnesota

Bananas.

Well, this is definitely one of the better games this postseason at least.

And we will see you Friday night!!!

Not a great showing for Kuemper in this one.

That one's gonna leave a mark...

Meh. Motivation. At least I have something exciting to do Friday night.

Run it back.

ROFL ROFL

Nice for you to come out of your hiatus.

LET'S GO BLUES

I mean, we may not end up winning this series - and it will be even more hilarious if we do with Binnington out - but watching Avs fans assholes pucker after blowing a 3-0 and 4-3 lead is ****ing glorious.

At least they aren't going quietly, considering they were forced to swap a .949 goalie for a .884. Husso is 20th out of 23 in save percentage.

Binnington is 2nd.

Amen.

The Blues on paper are outclassed in every phase of the game. But they're putting up a good fight. Even without Binnington. In spite of Husso being a sieve in the playoffs.

The Blues are still here.

LET'S.

GO.

BLUES.

6 goals in 10 minutes in this Edmonton vs Calgary game. Nuts.

Husso has just been shattered ass out there, man.

I really have no idea how they can advance. Husso's given me no indication in this series that he's capable of even putting up a .910 sv% right now. If they get 30 shots on net, they'll score 5.

And the Blues cannot score with Colorado.

Just incredibly tough sledding ahead and a lot fewer pathways forward for STL than there are for Colorado.

Damn shame that one of those 2 teams is going to advance and one of the two in this series won't.

This really should have been the WCF. These are the two best teams in the West, IMO. And I don't even think it's that close.

It's funny being in a place that's (relatively) cordial between the two fanbases. Meanwhile, Avs fans are just hoping Kuemper doesn't melt down two more times.

(It wasn't ALL him, but it was a lot him.)

McDavid vs. MacKinnon?

The Flames are not one of the two best teams in the west. They choked, had no heart and never could recover. However, that goal should have counted.

I came into these playoffs considering that Avs as prohibitive favorites. And they'll still make the Cup finals.

But man - Kuemper has been baaaaaaaad. He's been almost as bad as Husso.

This is, at worst, a 3-2 Blues lead in this series but/for the Binnington injury and Kuemper is the SOLE reason for that. I've seen 6-8 goals so far in this series that just should not have gotten through.

I really don't understand it. I haven't watched him play as much as you but I've seen him play a little and anytime I have he hasn't been this kind of awful. Has he had stretches like he's having now during the season?

Because at this point if I'm St. Louis I just keep throwing rubber at him any chance I get. They don't need a quality scoring chance to get on the board.

McRib vs McNuggets

McJesus and Draistl vs The avs/blues , all they have to do is stop 2 guys guys .

Was funny watching the Avs media completely turn on the team yesterday. You'd think they were down 3-0 in the series.

I'd say Kuemper is a large reason for it, but I'm seeing some big stretches oout of this Avs team that suggests they've been reading their own national press clippings after the regular season/Nashville beatdown.

And I'm with you, I think we have a chance to close it out tonight at home if not for the Binnington injury.

Kuemper let in 4 goals on his final 10 shots of the last game. Was the rest of the team perfect? Obviously not. But I'm not sure what else they could reasonably be expected to do there, press clippings or not.

This certainly seems worse than we saw in the regular season - or at least most of it. Not sure if there are any sites out there that let you see SV% by month, but I'd bet he was .900 or better for each month of the season. He's hanging onto that for the playoffs by a thread (.904), but the last two games have been really iffy.

It feels like a slump to me, and he's definitely stolen a game for us here and there. But if he's in the .800s again tonight, it wouldn't necessarily surprise me to see Frankie get a go of it next game.

I'm not limiting my comment to the end of G5.

They played like this in G2, and honestly didn't look great in G3 before Binnington went down.

They are far from invincible, despite the national media saying otherwise.

They also aren't BUTTERSCOTCH, SOFTEST OF ALL THE PUDDINGS as that dipshit Mark Kiszla claims. What a ****ing clown.

A lot of people said the same about KC vs Buffalo this past season- don't sleep on Edmonton.

They did not. At all. That looked like a game the Blues were gaining momentum in and then the energy was just sucked out of the building. I'm absolutely confident the Blues had G3.

Now some of that requires credit be given to the Blues - because as I've said for some time, I think this is a REALLY good Blues squad. And they're built for this sort of environment.

But they're built for this sort of test WITH a good goaltender and with Binnington out there playing pucks and putting up a .950, they had it. Husso staying in his crease and letting in a couple softies/gm? Nope - not good enough.

Shame they moved Detroit to the east, would love to see these two headhunt each other for the rest of time.

I actually agree with him. Charmin soft they are

Hope the Avs players aren't as nervous as I am...

Husso solid so far.

Borat opens the scoring! Suck it Elway fans!

Square to the shooter, not screened - beaten clean over his shoulder. By a defenseman that largely telegraphed the shot.

Kemper continues to look like hell.

Nice play!

WAKE THE **** UP KUEMPER

Nice save. Kuemper was a dead turkey on that.

HE'S PANICKING EVEN WORSE THAN I AM!! :fear:

Imagine what he will be like if this goes to a Game 7?

If Manson didn’t save Kuemper’s ass that would have been an embarrassing goal. Like a Jordan crossover dunk.

If it goes to 7, I'm starting Frankie.

No way

Good game

Buh bye Blues.

YESSSS!! God what a relief. Blues are so freaking clutch, hate to admit it but I honestly thought we were done.

Damn. What a struggle. Great effort Blues.

Onward!

Kuemper redeemed himself and looked much more solid in the 3rd. Now let's go get the Oilers!

That’s gonna be a great series.

Some serious firepower for sure. Can't wait!

Canadians deserve a cup more than Bronco fans. Go Oilers.

Hey now, not all Avs fans are Donks fans. Lots of them are Chiefs fans.

**** Denver

Maybe. I hope the few Chiefs fans here happiness with the Avs. The vast majority of Avs fans are Donk fans and I just can’t wish them happiness.

One second to go on the PP and 3 seconds to go in the game = 2 goals for Avs...

Lucky piles of **** they are. That was with Husso in there too. **** Kadri!

Not often you hear a team that out-shot the other team 2-to-1 and totally outplayed them called lucky, but if it makes you feel better, sure! :thumb:

Obviously many root for both teams, but there's less overlap between Avs and Broncos fans than you'd think. A lot of the Avs fans I know are sick of how much hype the Broncos get when they've been ass since Peyton.

Husso has definitely cemented his Blues history. 1 second left on a PP and 5 seconds left in regulation.

Denver is like Phoenix to a certain extent, a desirable city to move to. So lots of people there are from other places and they maintain loyalty to some of the teams they grew up with. Took me over 10 years of living there to become an Avs fan.

Crazy :mad:

A former Red Wing scores Colorado's biggest goal in years and finishes off the Blues. What strange irony.

Congrats to the Colorado Avalanche and their fans. The Blues fought the good fight but fell short in the end vs. the best hockey team in the league. We'll be back.

Pretty cool moment when that game-winning goal went in with 6 seconds left

Kadri's dirty hit on Binnington saved the Avs. Blues nearly pulled it off with Husso. Go Oilers, Avs don't deserve it. They're pussies.

Wonder if Husso punching Kadri in the face was as awesome for Blues fans as Kadri getting a hatty in the Blues barn the game after he inadvertently took out their "star goalie" (who was Husso's backup entering the playoffs) was for Avs fans? :hmmm:

The idea that Husso was the problem makes zero sense.

Yet they took them down to the wire. It's unfortunate, we had to have Playoff Binnington. As for the Avs, the Blues exposed them. Play a little passive, don't chase as much because they're really fast. But when you get your shot on the boards, lay them out. The Avs lay down when that's going on. They're not a physical team.

The Blue print is out. It's only a matter of time. Oilers in six.
